Dark Side of the Tune MPC kits come in 500 or 1000/2500/5000 format. Each complete kit fills all of the pads on your MPC, offering a simplified and straightforward program at an affordable price. In this collection, we leave out parameter settings, Q links and any pre-arrangement so you can create your own custom kits. Non-MPC users can also use these sounds to build custom drum kits in their favorite sampler.

On a Rainy Northwest Day
Something moves beneath the ground, echoing through pillars once consumed by water. The abandoned cistern at Fort Worden, formerly a bulwark against military attack, has surfaced as Dark Side of the Tune's latest venue for experimental sound, delivering space and dimension from a subterranean refuge.

Here, instruments become something more. Drums turn into droning sub-sonic waves. Tortured toys come to life. Dripping water and distant rumblings from ships collide with the space. The result transports listeners to a truly dingy Northwest environment.

Each MPC kit is available in 1000/2500/5000 format, and includes 32 sounds layered with a mono and reverb file.

Listen to Twisted Cistern sample reels:

In this spoken sample library, unexpected vernacular contrasts with wholesome British correctness, delivering dramatic audio clips without the licensing hassles from Hollywood.

New and vintage analog synthesized drums march forward rather than mimicking the past with circuit bending techniques and processing to make them bigger and better. All TR sounds (808, 909) are purposely avoided.

Pretty Empty brings irony to emptiness. For the contemplative artist wanting stripped down music with lamenting, dreamy sounds, Pretty Empty delivers a different definition of nothingness.Watery synth lines, minor chords and bit reduced drums with slower tempos fill the void to birth sounds that are blue, clean, atonal and counter-rhythmic.

Suppressed by the Church and branded “Diabolus in Musica” by medieval musicians, Tritone was spurned until the end of the Renaissance. Now, Dark Side of the Tune offers modern producers a three-pack salute to dissonance in Tritone, the deluxe edition of Pitch Dark, Sledgehammer to Happy and Pretty Empty.
